On this day in 1776, we declared our independence from Great Britain. Because of our forefathers, we enjoy many freedoms in the United States.

While you celebrate today with the usual festivities (e.g., barbecues and fireworks), I hope you will take a some time to think about all that was sacrificed so that we could have the freedoms we often take for granted and those who are not as lucky as us in other countries.

Happy 4th!
